The slaves were much better off. Roman empire was a slave empire.

And the resulting polities were slave kingdoms. Wow. Much improvement.

That’s the main reason it’s celebrated in our empire. Europeans and the founding slavers of USA looked towards roman slavery as their ideal.

Wow, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in the past 24 hours.

Arguing for the roman empire is like saying that USA was better before the Civil War.

Today the worship of this slave empire remains a foundation of white supremacy.

Yes, the foundation of white supremacy was a multiracial empire which had very mixed feelings on those pale G*rmanic savages and thought of Africans and Syrians as the smartest people in the world. You nailed it.
